+ MORE ON INTIMIDATION OF RESEARCHER
Argentinian scientist Andres Carrasco, whose research found that glyphosate could cause brain, intestinal and heart defects in foetuses, has spoken further about the industry's attempts to intimidate and discredit him. They mounted an unprecedented attack on Carrasco, ridiculing his research and even issuing personal threats. He was even accused of inventing his whole investigation.

Carrasco was firm in his response: "It was a violent, disproportionate, dirty reaction", he said. "I hadn't even discovered anything new, only confirmed conclusions that others had reached. One has to remember, too, that the study originated in contacts with communities that have suffered the impact of agro-chemicals. They are the undeniable proof of the impact." He is not intimidated: "If I know something, I will not shut my mouth."
